Default Blowing tires?

What is the most interesting way that you have gotten a flat tire or blown a tire?

This is mine. I was driving down a re graveled road that had been re graveled with old rail road bed. I guess they put down more than just the rocks. Yes, that is a rail road spike in there.

Don't have any pictures, but I blew a tire on my dad's old 4020 tractor on a soybean stalk while bailing straw. Of course, the stalk went through a previous cut in the tire that didn't go all the way through and didn't leak, but it was still funny to see air blowing out of the center of the soybean stalk.

Once we got that tire replaced, a week later, it blew again. This time it was a deer antler. Would have made a nice rack if both pieces were there. I counted 8 points all told and the end 6 were 4" apart each!

That would have been kinda funny to see the air shooting out of the bean stalk.

Especially out of a 16.9-/-38 tire (metric equivalent is a 420/85R38).
